Takahashi

Takahashi City is located between Niimi City in the northern part of Okayama Prefecture and Soja City which is just 40 minutes outside of downtown Okayama City. With a population of only 34,000, where many of the residents connected to Kibi International University and Junsei Junior College. This makes for an interesting city with a mixture of young people and the old charm of a city tucked away in valley surrounded by impressive mountains.

Takahashi has Bitchu Matsuyama Castle standing at the top of a mountain looking over the town and the famous Takahashi River which cuts the city in two. Takahashi boasts to have one of the Best Hundred Great Streets in Japan. The best time to walk along this street is spring when the cherry trees are in full bloom. At the top of this street and just over the train tracks are a group of houses where the samurai of the area lived a few centuries ago.
